 The Few Key Elements of Fire Restoration Mitigation 

When fires occur, it is necessary to act quickly. Experienced professionals from our team can work within a volatile environment to create a safer restoration atmosphere and better conditions for responding technicians. The earliest actions that we take to secure homes suffering fire loss include the following:

• Water removal
• Board-up
• Air filtration
• Controlled demolition

Clearing Debris 

Among the first steps of fire restoration for Yakima homes and businesses is removing debris from the floors. Heaps of ash and soot residues produced by the combustion process hinder other restoration actions from starting. Debris can cause greater concentrations of soot deposits on surfaces, creating more significant odor issues to overcome.

Removing Smoke and Soot Damage  

When soot and smoke deposits threaten surfaces in the house, it is necessary to have appropriate cleaning processes to address these concerns. The longer soot impacts sensitive substrates, the more likely these corrosive particles stain and mar the material in question. We have surface-cleaning strategies to address these residues in the earliest stages, including solvents and detergents. We also have more aggressive abrasive and mechanical actions where necessary.

Cleaning Contents 

Protecting their possessions and contents in the house is paramount to many homeowners. It is necessary to do anything possible to prevent greater harm to these objects and remove them from the damaged path. We have relocation services that begin with our team's arrival, as well as on-site cleaning and pack-out processes depending on the condition of these items.

Neutralizing Harsh Smells

Malodors should also be a consideration. Early action to reduce the severity of smells produced by the combustion process can make the restoration more efficient and promote better living conditions for house occupants. We have several deodorization tools and products to help.
